For on-the-go players, Nintendo has also teased what it calls "the newest member of the Nintendo 3DS family" — the Nintendo 2DS, available in red or blue on 12 October for $129.99 (£84).

The 2DS plays the entire library of packaged and downloadable games for Nintendo 3DS, but in 2D rather than 3D. It sports many of the same hardware features as its predecessor, including dual screens, game-play controls, and touchscreen features.
